Presently I’m writing two prose books: one on the Muses, the source of artistic inspiration, which expands on this essay; and another on the mythological nude paintings of the Renaissance artist Correggio.

My writing is supported by an Emergent Ventures grant from the Mercatus Center.

Some of my poems can be read online in the NYRB, Liberties, and Prelude. My poetry manuscript will be completed later this year.
